MuSpAn: A Toolbox for Multiscale Spatial Analysis
Advances in multiplex imaging and spatial omics have revolutionised spatial data generation in biology, revealing complex tissue organisation across multiple scales. However, methods for analysing the...

I am entirely blaming the @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social social media team for getting me to do this beautiful beautiful video 😂🎷

What's it like round here? What are the people like? What do they do when they are not doing maths? Do they have fun?

Films about people who also do maths. @joshuabull.bsky.social

Be careful what you wish for, you might get one for Christmas 😆

Looks like with any luck we might manage to be #DoneByOctober! Although I'm told we have 421 pieces to go...🫣

I wish I could like this post more than once!

(Not to mention some lovely @physicell.bsky.social simulations, of course!)

Lovely to have a talk on home turf from the great @mathcancer.bsky.social, presenting some of his developments around a grammar for developing agent based models!

If that sounds interesting, check out the paper here:

I have to admit that if I'm wearing my Garmin then I don't bother with this conversion...instead I now spend most of the time trying to work out my average pace based on how many cumulative seconds over/under target pace I've been each kilometre 😆

Pffft, rounding is for non runners

You should have seen the outtakes 😅

What do I look like, a historian?! 😅🫣

A reminder that "very keen" ≠ "good" 🏃‍♀️😅

It's a little-known fact that Fibonacci was a keen marathon runner.

Okay, he wasn't but he could be an invaluable help if you are a keen marathon runner.

@joshuabull.bsky.social is very keen.

Great start to day two of #UKMathBio - after @profruthbaker.bsky.social's opening talk we now have Katie Bentley from @crick.ac.uk introducing us to the lunatic fringe hidden in the mouse retina...

Great first talk of #mathonco session 2 at #UKMathBio from Alexis Farman, who has been modelling B-ALL
joshuabull.bsky.social
We're back up and running after lunch - after David Rand's talk on the neural tube (which I forgot to get a photo for, sorry) we're now hearing about Weini Huang's work on ecDNA #UKMathBio
joshuabull.bsky.social
Our final talk of the morning at #UKMathBio is from Nikolaos Sfakianakis, who presents some very cool (and slightly gruesome) modelling of a hybrid 3D framework to describe tumour metastasis

Now time for @kitcgallagher.bsky.social on cool work with @mathonco.bsky.social on clinically applicable mathematical biomarkers using a Lotka-Volterra model #UKMathBio
joshuabull.bsky.social
The first set of parallel sessions are kicking off now at #UKMathBio - this morning I'm in the #mathonco session, kicked off by Einar Bjarki Gunnarsson on optimal dosing strategies
joshuabull.bsky.social
Next up at #UKMathBio is @gibin.bsky.social with our first foray of the conference into #mathonco, with hybrid ABMs modelling the bystander effect in radiotherapy

Now Anne Skeldon is here to tell us how bad getting up at 6am to come to #UKMathBio was 😅 - Mathematical modelling of sleep for healthy human function in the 21st century

(We're only 13 minutes in but if you're interested in exploring approaches to linking imaging and modelling from another perspective then I'll put a cheeky plug in for my talk on www.muspan.co.uk tomorrow afternoon!)
